If you're looking at Nitto 555Rs you should look at Toyo Proxes TQs. I have them and they're awesome. And they have a decent tread depth and design like the 555Rs so they're street friendly.

I got 2 315/35/17s them for $385 shipped...

I have actually took a peak at TQ's, and did some homework on them. People seem to absolutely love those tires. Only thing i'm worried abut is the clearance of a 315/30/18. As I discussed earlier the ride height is to the point where 275/40/17 Nitto NT05's actually tuck up in the wheel house. I'm going to roll the fenders next week and see where i'm at as far as clearance. I would hate to spend 600-800 bucks on rear tires and have them cut up by the body. Helpful information though. Thank you for that.

Thank you sir! I am moving as fast as I can! I've had these since December believe it or not. The next couple weeks they should finally be on.

Profil 5's are always going to have a little smaller lip because the actual face is made to clear larger brakes. The larger lips that you generally see are going to be FM5's (classics), the face is flatter on those allowing for a larger lip but less clearance for big calipers. I actually don't care for large lips on these particular cars, especially with all the hellaflush crap going on now in California.
